While that sun was setting, I was listening to Old Man’s War on my iPod while trudging up mechanical stairs at my health club. Sir, it’s as captivating this time as it was the first two times I read it. Brilliant sun set photo, brilliant book.

I realize I’m in the minority on this, but if I were Dictator of Everything we’d have daylight-savings time all year. I like being up before the sunrise, because sunrises are beautiful. And I like having a lot more daylight after work. It’s all good!

Okay, I’m sure you all have your trivial little “reasons” for thinking this is a bad idea, based on your so-called “needs” and “problems” and “requirements,” as if anything in the world existed aside from my esthetic preferences. Crazy talk!

@pnh Speaking of dictators (or at least authoritarians), Moscow’s time zone went onto DST a few years ago and never went back. It meant very late sunrises the winter I lived there (think: 9:30) but thus also sunsets that were not soul-crushingly early.
